Group shoots man dead in South Side gangway

A 22-year-old man was fatally shot Tuesday evening on the South Side in the city's Fuller Park neighborhood, officials said.

Witnesses told police that at about 6:30 p.m. they saw a group of males walk into a gangway on the 5500 block of South Princeton Avenue and soon after heard gunshots. The group reemerged, then got into a van and fled south from the scene.

The victim was identified as Malik Dunlap of the 1300 block of West 98th Place, according to a spokeswoman for the Cook County medical examiner's office. He was pronounced dead at 9:35 p.m. at the Stein Institute.

Earlier Tuesday evening, another 22-year-old man was shot on the Far South Side in the city's West Pullman neighborhood.

That shooting happened about 6:21 p.m. on the 300 block of West 116th Street, police said.

Preliminary reports stated the man was standing on the street when a red Ford Taurus pulled up and the front-seat passenger and rear right-seat passenger fired shots. The man was struck in the knee and was taken in good condition to Roseland Community Hospital, police said.

Another shooting about 11:43 p.m. on the 7700 block of South Sangamon Street in the city's Gresham neighborhood involved a 33-year-old man who was shot in his shoulder, back and leg. He was taken to Stroger Hospital, but his condition was not immediately available, said Police News Affairs Officer Ron Gaines. Police said the shooting appears to be a drive-by.

Also, two male victims suffered graze wounds this morning in a 1:40 a.m. shooting on the 2500 block of North Lawndale Avenue on the Northwest Side, Gaines said.

One victim suffered a graze wound to his head and the other to his elbow. Both were listed in good condition at an area hospital.

No one was in custody in any of the shootings. Wentworth Area and Calumet Area detectives were investigating.
